Learning Pathways Career Counseling

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Jill Schontag as my coach in 2013 – 2014. She helped me navigate a big life transition to create my dream job: creating art and teaching workshops designed to help professionals recover from secondary traumatic stress. Jill is incredibly talented, intelligent, warm and supportive. She guided me through those tough spots where I was doubting myself and celebrated with me as the pieces beautifully fell into place. I highly recommend her as a career coach.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I am so grateful to have found Jill on Unilocal!
She really motivated me in a way that I had been searching for, for quite a few years.
I needed help choosing my career path after years and countless failed attempts. I worked with her over the course of a few sessions and she guided me towards exactly what I had been searching for. I really enjoyed the work together and the tools she utilizes. I really truly have nothing but positive things to say about the experience of working with Jill! She is great!

Jill Schontag, at Learning Pathways is very talented, compassionate and knowledgeable!
I had applied for a job, but needed guidance about negotiating with a large corporation regarding compensation and benefits. Jill helped me figure out exactly what my goals were, including a range for salary, and then walked me through a sample negotiation conversation. She even sat in the room with me for moral support while I made the phone call!
I couldn’t recommend Jill more for career transitions.

I’m a therapist in private practice and have referred my clients to Jill for her specialized, targeted help with changing careers.
Jill has outstanding counseling skills that allow her to help people deal with the emotional hurdles involved in finding a job or changing career focus – while giving them practical steps for tangible results in the real world.
She has the know-​how to competently assess someone in terms of his/​her abilities and interests, as well as reframing their accomplishments to throw light on an array of future career paths. She validated and built upon my client’s strengths while supporting her in taking the necessary risks to explore «what’s out there.»
I’ve heard it said that your career is the intersection of your gifts with the world’s needs. Allow Jill to guide you there!

Jill is passionate about what she does and it shows. Her dedication, patience and understanding makes Jill the best.
She is skillful and thoughtful with the advice she provides and really helps her clients determine and achieve the path they are meant to take.
Jill is an asset to this field. If you are looking for a career, or college counselor, look no further.

Jill is amazing!!! She asks the questions that lead into who you are, what you want to do, and who you want to become! Helping you to uncover the best part of you!
Understanding what your strengths are and where you want to go — means your job search from — resume writing, job hunting, and interview skills — will highlight your confidence and abilities.
Thanks Jill!
